Have You Ever Been In Love?....

Transcription

Have you ever been in love? Or met your soulmate? I have.

Of course, I know this is open to the world and everyone can read what I write. Maybe I am glad I am just a complete stranger. The pain lining my darkened eyes is too much for anyone to contend with. Even those few individuals who have seen even fragments of it. I wrote this in my head.

Here I stand
waiting
with the clock ticking
unforgiving
Nothing matters now
except the questions
they howl.
The beasts lie in wait for me
waiting for me to fail
and to bleed.
I know not where I am
nor do I know where to go.
I am alone, broken and lifeless
filled with pain
too much to count it.
Realize they see
such stones in my body
where a beautiful heart
used to be.
I am standing numb
on the cliff's edge
waiting for her
to bring me home.
Promises, promises she did not keep
or is that not the truth
I am supposed to believe?
Are my own cares and dreams
the norm?
What to believe?
Wishing I'd never been born.
Is love a lie or hope so dead?
Wishing and hoping for dreams
in my head.
Here I stand
and wait
with my heart in my hand
with hope in a boat
traveling by sea
to the land.
